When using the “Duplicate Project” function, add in two options:
If a board was not originally created as a template, this would allow you to create a template from a recent board without having to backtrack and mark all tasks and subtasks as incomplete.
Definitely need to change task status from Completed to Incomplete when duplicating a project (at least in my world.)
Did this ever get resolved - we have hundreds of tasks which will not be effective to incomplete all - surely we can do this in bulk some way?
I’m surprised this doesn’t have more replies! I have the same concern — when I duplicate a completed project, all the tasks on the duplicate project retain the completion status of those on the original project.
When duplicating a project, in the window where you can check which project & task attributes you would like maintained in the new project, 2 new options should be added: one for task completion status and another for subtask completion status. If you were to check these options, then the completion status of all tasks and/or subtasks (respectively) on the new project would match that of the original project. If you did not check them, then the completion status of all tasks and/or subtasks (respectively) on the new project would be incomplete by default.
I hope the Asana team will add this feature, or at least a feature to mark all tasks & subtasks incomplete in a project without having to select them all!
I’m just giving this one a bump. Has this been resolved yet? Presumably if you’re duplicating a task it’s because you completed all the tasks the first time…
I am also wondering if there is a solution to this issue, our templates will always need updating and being able to just copy the latest project to create an updated template will save alot of time!
I have a workaround to this problem (only works for smaller projects that are duplicated): Create a duplicate > View it in List view > Select multiple tasks/subtasks at once using using CTRL + C. Once you select multiple tasks, a mini task bar will open with actions you can take > Select Mark as incomplete.
This doesn’t change the status, unfortunately.
Another bump for this – need a solution from Asana to remove task status for all tasks & subtasks when copying over large project boards.
